1-to-1 Sprint & Speed Coaches
No verified coaches in this discipline yet
A good 1-to-1 sprint coach does what a team session can't: all the attention on one athlete, with the session built around what they specifically need to fix. Private sprint and speed coaching in the UK typically costs £40–£75 per hour, and sessions usually run on athletics tracks, 3G pitches and flat grass straights. Coaching normally starts from around 9, with loaded speed work usually from 12+.
Sessions usually cover acceleration mechanics over 10–30m, top speed and maximum velocity work and change of direction and agility for team-sport athletes. Speed work needs a full warm-up and genuine rest between reps — a coach rushing recovery is a red flag.

Sprint & Speed coaching FAQ
How much does a 1-to-1 sprint coach cost?
Typically £40–£75 per hour in the UK. Coaches with academy, county or international backgrounds sit at the top of that range, and block bookings of 5 or 10 sessions usually come at a discount.
How do I choose a sprint coach?
• Ask what the coach measures — timing gates or a phone-timed 10m split beats 'he looked quicker' • For team-sport athletes, check the session includes change of direction, not just straight-line sprinting • Confirm rest periods are long: quality speed work means fewer reps, not more
